Not worth it. "View" there is only through the trees, so the cold season

Steep tip of a short dolomitic peak and lookout point (600 m).

The uppermost area carries a weather vane and is partially secured by wooden railings. However, this is now totally ailing. Sure-footedness and a bit of scrambling are needed here. The last path up here is difficult to recognize in the terrain due to the many foliage and the low walk frequency. But the 200 m and about 30 hm from the west of it lying trail are fun.

The view is largely overgrown (especially now in summer), the view line is clear on Hiltpoltstein, Kasberg. Theoretically, the view should be almost fantastic 360 °.

Conclusion summer 2018:

A potential highlight in an uneventful environment. Where are the responsible tourists? Here it urgently needs a smaller rock clearing and new fall protection for normal hikers. For experienced athletes: take away!

The Leidsteingipfel. Probably only in winter with a view.
